-====== RLogin ======+====== RLogin Gateway ======
 The Synchronet RLogin module (''[[dir:exec]]/rlogin.js'') is used to create an outbound proxy gateway connection between a Synchronet [[server:Terminal]] Server user and a remote server using the BSD Rlogin protocol ([[RFC>1282]]) over TCP (traditionally, TCP port 513).  The BBS user can be connected to the host BBS using any supported terminal protocol (Telnet, RLogin, or SSH). The Synchronet RLogin module (''[[dir:exec]]/rlogin.js'') is used to create an outbound proxy gateway connection between a Synchronet [[server:Terminal]] Server user and a remote server using the BSD Rlogin protocol ([[RFC>1282]]) over TCP (traditionally, TCP port 513).  The BBS user can be connected to the host BBS using any supported terminal protocol (Telnet, RLogin, or SSH).

 Where: Where:
   * ''<address>'' is the IPv4 address or host name to connect to   * ''<address>'' is the IPv4 address or host name to connect to
-  * ''[:port]'' is the TCP port number to connect to (default is 513) +  * ''[:port]'' is the optional TCP port number to connect to (default is ''513'') 
-  * ''[mode]'' is an optional set of one or more [[:module:telgate#mode|telgate mode flags]] (''TG_*'') separated by pipe (''|'') symbols +  * ''[options]'' are one or more of the following options: 
- + 
 +^ Option ^ Value        ^ Description ^   
 +| ''-c'' | client-name  | Client-side username to include in the RLogin negotiation (default is current user's alias) | 
 +| ''-s'' | server-name  | Server-side username to include in the RLogin negotiation (default is current user's real name) | 
 +| ''-t'' | terminal-type | Terminal type/speed (or "xtrn=doorcode" to auto-exec door on server) | 
 +| ''-T'' | connect-timeout-seconds | Connection timeout (default: 10 seconds) |

 +Option values may immediately following the option flag or as be provided as the next argument on the command-line (separate by white-space).

 +The legacy command-line syntax which did not use option flags to specify optional arguments is still supported, though deprecated.

 +==== Auto-Login ====
 +
 +For automated logins, [[server:Terminal#RLogin|Synchronet RLogin Server]] requires the //client-user-name// to be a valid user password, and the //server-user-name// to be a valid user ID (e.g. alias) which corresponds with the password.
  
 +Other RLogin servers (e.g. door game servers) may have different requirements for automated logins (e.g. no password).
